P R I C E, UTAH Thursday, August 30, 1962 Farm Sales are Up Yet Net Income is Down Mitchell Funeral Home "Farmers, like other businessmen, in recent years have increased their gross sales but have reveived less net income, declared County Agent Robert L. Harrell referring to a report by Lloyd A. Clemen Extension Economist with Utah State University. The farmers have increased gross income per farm since 1953 by 12 percent but their net income has declined more than 8 percent, Clement states. Gross income per farm in 1953 was $6,639 and production expenses were $4,391. Net income equaled $2,248. By 1961, gross income was up to 57,703 per farm but expences had jumped to $5,628, leaving a net of only per farm. Farmer have sought to improve their situation, says Clement, by shifting the inputs or mix of production resources. They have substituted machinery for labor. In 1940, U. S. farmers spent $1.75 on machinery and buildings for each dollar spent on hired help. By 1960, they were spending $2.77 on these items for each dollar spent for hired labor. Another effort to boost efficiency is reflected in the amounts spent for fertilizer and lime. By 1960, U. S. farmers were spending 4 8 times more for these items than was spent in 1940. This means a great increase in quantity since prices for fertilizer and lime have increased only 50 per$2,075 already dwindled to about 55.

Al a iiii The question is often asked, "Why do farm units continue to increase in size? Greater use of machinery and narrower margins received on products marketed are major factors behind the pressure for larger units. Todays farmer must invest three to four times as much capital in fixed assets as was needed in 1940 to obtain net returns on a comparable level and the price-co- st squeeze is continuing, the economist explains.

Perhaps more significant than the declining life index is the fact that the number of exploratory wells drilled in 1961 were the lowest since 1950. A total of 10,992 wildcat wells were drilled in the U.S , of which 9,022 were dry holes. The success ratio of 17 92 percent is the lowest on record, while the average footage per well, 4.932, is the highest on record All of which again points up the fact that the U.S. is consum-- 1 ing more gas than it is finding. Moreover, it leads to the con- elusion that more drilling will be required and with the wells having to go deeper, costs must nee-- 1 essarily rise. Like the flavor of these HtOOf.

While this is only a fraction below the figure, nevertheless it marks the first time the life index has been less than 20 years. It has long been argued by the gas industry that so long as the life index remains above 20 years, consumers of gas in the U.S. had that nothing to worry about adequate reserves were available and new reserves would be found to supplant the diminishing supply.
